Rain slaps the pavement as you hurry home, the gray sky bleeding into evening. A whimper cuts through the patter—a small, shivering puppy huddled against a wall, fur matted and dark. You scoop it up without thinking, feel its tiny heartbeat against your palm. At home, warm water and a towel coax it back to life, and soon it's curled on your chest in bed, soft and trusting. Morning light spills through the curtains. You stir to a weight around your waist—an arm. You turn. Brodie's face is inches from yours, still asleep, his breath warm on your neck. Your enemy. In your bed.
